I call for effort, courage, sacrifice, devotion. Granting the love of freedom, all of these are possible. And the love of freedom is still fierce and steady in the nation today. June 10, 1940

Freedom of speech...Freedom of worship...Freedom from want...Freedom from fear.

December 7, 1941. A date which will live in infamy.

For three long years I have been going up and down this country preaching that government . . . costs too much. I shall not stop that preaching.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.

More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars - yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments.
